Optional Workshops at Sleepaway:

• Leadership Academy

  Do you have what it takes to be the captain of your team? Campers in this program will learn what it takes to be a leader by developing effective communication skills and learning important steps involved in the decision making process. They will also conquer the “Ropes Course” while learning the value of teamwork through High Adventure activities. Campers who complete the course will earn a Certificate of Achievement that will qualify as community service.

• Sports Medicine Internship

  Foundation XC Camp will be running a Sports Medicine Internship Program for students entering grades 9-12. The campers will gain insight into the field of sports medicine and athletic training along with many others careers in the Health Care Industry. Campers enrolled in this introductory program will get hands-on experience on prevention, recognition, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The group will meet every day for 1 hour, as well as assist the training staff before and after runs. Campers who complete the course will earn a Certificate of Achievement.

The Evenings are for the Campers:

• Are you ready for fun?

  Your days will be full of training, fitness stations and learning workshops. There will also be guest speakers and don't worry, you'll have some free time. The nights at Camp Pontiac, however, is really where it's at. Here's a partial list of evening activities we'll be bringing to you:
  • Live Band on opening night
  • Two DJ parties (the Middle Night Dance Party may have a theme?!?!?)
  • Air-Conditioned Movie Theater playing newly released movies
  • Karoake
  • Camp Talent Show
  • Video Game Room
  • Or... maybe lay-low with some Burgers/Dogs and Ice Cream in the Lounge while watching the Yankees & Mets on TV each night

Camp Pontiac
